Match Pointers
WITTON Albion hope to return to winning ways at promotion hopefuls Curzon Ashton tomorrow, Saturday.

Paul Ogden’s men have drawn twice and lost once – in the FA Cup at Mossley last weekend – since their opening day success at home to Garforth Town.

The manager has shuffled his pack in each of Albion’s matches to date.

Ben Harrison is likely to continue alongside captain Ian Kearney in defence, while namesake Paul impressed on his debut in Bank Holiday Monday’s draw against Warrington after signing from AFC Telford United.

Josh Hancock and Chris Smith continue to vie for a place alongside Andy Kinsey, who got off the mark in red and white against Town, in attack.

Hosts Curzon will be buoyed by their midweek last-gasp extra time replay win at Congleton Town in an FA Cup Preliminary Round clash.

Midfielder Chris Worsley scored the winning goal in stoppage time.

Play-offs semi finalists last term and losing finalists the season before, Gary Lowe’s men are adjusting to life without goals-getter Michael Norton following his transfer to FC United of Manchester this summer.

Chris McDonagh is the man tasked to fill his shoes.
